All Jeep and Chrysler plugin hybrids dead


Recommended Posts

Wow, if this was April 1st, then I would know it was a hoax. But is appears to be legit. Given all the problems and recalls they have had on the 4Xe models it appears they are throwing their hands up in the air and saying they can't be fixed. Feel bad for those owners.

Yea, no surprise the big shots at Stellantis have called it a day for PHEV. Beyond all the reliability issues that Texasota and Dequidre mentioned, the whole concept of a Plug In Hybrid that's ICE dominant (which is what the Pacifica Hybrid and the Jeep 4xe models are) ain't makin' much sense to customers or to manufacturers.

 

For ICE dominant vehicles, pure ICE and regular hybrid are best. 

For Electric motor dominant vehicles, BEV is best, EREV is an OK alternative in some cases, FCEV ain't practical for U.S. consumers

They'll still have hybrids, just not plug in hybrids.  So I'd imagine they'll shift them to regular hybrids instead of what they have now.

 

Yea, exactly. For the U.S. Jeep product lineup, it's now either regular hybrid (Cherokee) or pure battery electric (Recon & Wagoneer S):

Yes, I’d put my money on the Bronco deploying a Powerboost configuration. All the components needed are ready and waiting. Same for the Ranger assuming it has a future in North America. Add Pro Power Onboard and they will sell themselves.

I wonder how long that is for with the changes in CAFE, which helped falticiate this

Agreed - I'd have gotten a hybrid had it been available.
